  • The Design, Implementation, and Deployment of a Smart Lighting System for Smart Buildings
    IEEE Internet of Things Journal, 2019
    Co-Authors: Weitao Xu, Jin Zhang, Jun Young Kim, Walter Huang, Salil S. Kanhere, Sanjay K. Jha, Wen Hu
    Abstract:

    There is an increasing interest in Internet of Things (IoT) enabled smart buildings over the past decades. However, the development of smart buildings is impeded by the high installation/maintenance cost and the difficulty of large-scale evaluation in the wild. In this paper, we report the Design, Implementation, and deployment of an emergency light-based smart building solution. The key advantage of the system is that it is built on the top of the existing facilities in the building (i.e., emergency light). As a case study, we have implemented and deployed our system in nine production smart buildings of different types including residential, commercial office, and warehouse of multiple level building complexes. Using real data from four typical buildings, we show the proposed system can achieve >97% average packet delivery rate. Evaluation results also demonstrate the stability and robustness of the system to environmental changes. The results of this paper provide practical insights to facilitate the development of smart building systems.

  • total survey error Design Implementation and evaluation
    Public Opinion Quarterly, 2010
    Co-Authors: Paul P Biemer
    Abstract:

    The total survey error (TSE) paradigm provides a theoretical framework for optimizing surveys by maximizing data quality within budgetary constraints. In this article, the TSE paradigm is viewed as part of a much larger Design strategy that seeks to optimize surveys by maximizing total survey quality; i.e., quality more broadly defined to include user-specified dimensions of quality. Survey methodology, viewed within this larger framework, alters our perspectives on the survey Design, Implementation, and evaluation. As an example, although a major objective of survey Design is to maximize accuracy subject to costs and timeliness constraints, the survey budget must also accommodate additional objectives related to relevance, accessibility, interpretability, comparability, coherence, and completeness that are critical to a survey's "fitness for use." The article considers how the total survey quality approach can be extended beyond survey Design to include survey Implementation and evaluation. In doing so, the "fitness for use" perspective is shown to influence decisions regarding how to reduce survey error during Design Implementation and what sources of error should be evaluated in order to assess the survey quality today and to prepare for the surveys of the future.

  • Research on Environmental Design Implementation in Taiwan’s Manufacturers Certified by ISO 14001
    Asian Journal on Quality, 2006
    Co-Authors: Yi‐chan Chung, Chih‐hung Tsai
    Abstract:

    This research investigates the status of environmental Design Implementation in Taiwan’s industries (Certified by ISO 14001) by employing questionnaire survey. The correlation between the degree of environmental Design Implementation in Taiwan’s industries and the relevant entrepreneurial characteristics are examined. Twenty‐six environmental Design principles in foru phases: Design, manufacturing, sales and transportation,a nd disposal are used to define and assess the current status of environmental Design. The data analysis methods applied to this research includes descriptive statistics, T‐test, Chi‐square test, and single‐factor analysis of variance (ANOVA). It is evident that 21 out of the 26 environmental Design principles are frequently and consistently employed by the manufactureers in Taiwan. The results indicate that environmental Design Implementation is becoming mature in Taiwan’s industries.

  • An empirical study on the correlation between environmental Design Implementation and business competitive advantages in Taiwan's industries
    Technovation, 2005
    Co-Authors: Shiaw‐wen Tien, Yi-chan Chung, Chih‐hung Tsai
    Abstract:

    Abstract Environmental protection is an important topic in the 21st century. Environmental Design has become an integral part of corporate perpetual growth. In pursuit of economic development and environmental protection, enterprises should focus more on effective environmental Design activities, and thus achieve the goal of perpetual growth. This research attempts to study the impact of environmental strategies and environmental Design activities on environmental Design Implementation and in turn the impact of environmental Design Implementation on business competitive advantages. In this research, the intermediate variable, ‘industry group and enterprise scale’, is considered. A theoretical correlation model is developed based on various discussions on relevant theories and literature. The empirical analysis results on ISO 14001 certified enterprises and firms qualified for environmental protection standards in Taiwan show that the internal motivation for environmental Design has a significant effect on environmental Design Implementation. Communication with related interest groups, continuous education and persistent innovation could all substantially impact environmental Design Implementation. The better the communication with related interest groups, or the higher the education with environment-related knowledge, the more successful the environmental Design Implementation. Furthermore, environmental Design Implementation has a fundamentally significant effect on business competitive advantages. The ‘more successful environmental Design Implementation results in greater competitive advantages’ hypothesis is statistically tested and proven in this research. The two intermediate variables, industry group and enterprise scale do not show noticeable impacts on environmental Design and business competitive advantages.

  • HICSS - Secure Software Architecture, Design, Implementation and Assurance
    2007 40th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS'07), 2007
    Co-Authors: Robert C. Seacord, S. Dietrich, Daniel Plakosh
    Abstract:

    The secure software architecture, Design, Implementation and assurance minitrack focuses on the research and automation required to develop secure software systems that do not compromise other system properties such as performance and reliability. The goal of this minitrack is to facilitate a dialogue between software security researchers and practitioners so that software security research can be guided by practical requirements and research techniques can be more quickly transitioned to practice
